Abstract

In the Spring and Summer of 2002 a short questionnaire was included in the Cotswold Lion paper which readers were asked to fill in and return to the Countryside and Community Research Unit. The response rate was significantly higher than
anticipated with a total of 1,641 usable returns. The data from the questionnaire is both quantitative where people responded to itemised statements about the Cotswolds, and qualitative, where they were asked to write about their own feelings and opinions.
